The paper will be presented possibilities and limitations of solutions supporting measurement of morphometric parameters human ankle's on the basis of digital radiological images. The author carried out the measurements on radiographs in the standardized projections. The use of systems supporting the process of analyzing X-rays will make it possible to automate their processing, increase accuracy on the parameters and determine the population norms of the selected morphometric indicators of the ankle joint. The proposed solution can be used to assess the ankle, especially treated surgically.
